Coronation Stakes (Group 1)

THERE are few more popular figures in Irish racing than veteran handler Joe Murphy, and while odds of 33/1 suggest not many of the crowd were with her, Cercene (Gary Carroll) came back to a warm reception after rallying gamely to get the better of favourite Zarigana (Francis-Henri Graffard/Mickael Barzalona) by half a length, with January (Aidan O’Brien/Ryan Moore) a length back in third.
